Khao Pad Poo (Thai-style Crab Fried Rice)
The next time you have leftover rice, give this Thai-style crab-studded fried rice, the Bib Gourmand awarded dish on Michelin Guide a go! It’s a go-to order at any street food stall in Thailand, and surprisingly easy to make. In a hot oiled pan, throw in the rice and break up the grains with fast, rapid stirs of the spatula. Then, toss in sweet crabmeat, chopped spring onions, sizzling garlic, a splash of savoury fish sauce and sharp lime juice (some use vinegar, too). If you're feeling extra hungry, we'd recommend bubbling up an egg in the same pan.

Start frying!
Heat the oil over high heat in a wok or medium frying pan.
When hot, break in the eggs and allow to fry for 20 seconds before breaking the yolks. After 10 seconds, add the rice, garlic and onions, on top of the egg and begin to toss and stir breaking up any clumps.
After 1 minute, add the sauce and continue to toss and stir for 30 seconds.
Now add ½ the crab, toss for another 30 seconds and remove from heat.
Arrange & Serve!
Dish the rice onto a serving platter and top with the remaining crabmeat.
Add the cucumber, spring onions and lime on the side and serve with the sauce
